Adding and event listener to somethings parent

programming flash
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to add an event listener to something that lives on the parent level of the function that runs.

This is what I have in a function -

MovieClip(parent).footer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, footerOpen);

Here’s the error that it’s throwing -

Symbol 'footerBG', Layer 'as', Frame 15, Line 10    1120: Access of undefined property footerOpen.

Thanks!
Kev
